For decades, developing software for QNX has almost always meant one thing: cross-compilation. You write code on Linux or Windows, compile it elsewhere, deploy it to a QNX target, test, repeat. It works—but it’s never felt especially modern. With the…
GitHub has disabled Rockchip’s Linux Media Process Platform (MPP) repository following a DMCA takedown request filed by a contributor to the FFmpeg project. The dispute isn’t about whether Rockchip used FFmpeg code—it’s about how it used it. At the center…
At first glance, Postgresus changing its name to Databasus looks like a routine rebrand. A small project grows, adds features, and updates its name to match. Nothing unusual. But this rename actually signals something more interesting: a quiet shift from…

Ruby 4.0 has been released. At first glance, it looks like a typical major update: performance gains, concurrency tweaks, and standard library cleanups. But two changes stand out. They point to a deeper shift in how Ruby wants you to…
Over the past few years, something interesting has been happening inside Microsoft. Quietly. Gradually. But very deliberately. Rust keeps showing up. In Windows internals. In security talks. In job listings that sound… ambitious. Then, in late 2025, one statement caught…
If you work with virtual machines, system emulation, or low-level OS development, chances are you’ve crossed paths with QEMU—even if you didn’t realize it. QEMU is an open-source machine emulator and virtualizer that can run entire operating systems on top…
If you’ve worked with PostgreSQL long enough, you’ve probably heard this sentence before: “PostgreSQL is safe because everything is written to WAL.” It sounds reasonable. It feels reassuring. And it’s only half true. This misunderstanding — confusing WAL with actual…
